Junaid isn't here for only his NCL century. That only speaks of his current form...he is experienced. He had been around the National team for a long time now.

and what has he got to show for his time with the national team? he hasn't learned much, he's still getting out like he did when he first came to the national team, he hasn't improved at all, he's experienced but it's done him no good. the new generation of players coming through are a lot more prepared than the previous ones, they also have better talent, better temperament, better skills and more consistency. and i'm pretty sure the NCL century is what got him selected.

Quite right....

Narine has potential, but he's not Sonny Ramadhin quite yet. He's still to prove himself, and he has Shillingford and Bishoo breathing down his neck. His place in this Test team is far from certain IMHO.

It is not always true. Because Naeem perform good in NCL this is why he is selected. Junaed is also selected in same reason but he failed.
